Page 176 Advanced HotSync® Operations
Local Setup Enables you to perform HotSync operations
using the HotSync cradle that is connected to
your Macintosh. If you are using the USB
cradle for a direct HotSync operation, you do
not need to set these options; set them if you
are using the optional serial cradle:
■ Speed. Determines the speed at which data
is transferred between your handheld and
Palm Desktop software. Try the As Fast As
Possible rate first, and adjust downward if
you experience problems. This setting
allows Palm Desktop software and your
handheld to find and use the fastest speed.
■ Port. Identifies the port that Palm Desktop
software uses to communicate with the
HotSync cradle. Select the port where you
connected the HotSync cradle. If you
perform IR HotSync operations, select
Infrared port.
Modem Setup Enables you to perform HotSync operations
across a telephone line. To do this you must
purchase an optional add-on modem
accessory for your handheld, have a modem
connected to your Macintosh, and set the
following options:
■ Modem. Identifies the type of modem
connected to your Macintosh. If your
modem does not appear on the list, use the
Hayes setting, or choose Custom to enter a
command string. Refer to the manual that
came with your modem to find the
appropriate command string.
